Which side of the plane to sit from Longdongbao Airport (Guiyang) to Xingyi Airport (Xingyi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the iconic Karst landscapes and the spectacular approach over the Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks (Wanfenglin) near Xingyi.
Guiyang Nanming District
View of southern Guiyang's urban density interspersed with steep green hills upon takeoff.
Guizhou Karst Plateau
An endless sea of conical limestone peaks characteristic of this UNESCO heritage region.
Beipan River Canyons
The dramatic winding river carving deep into the plateau surface below.
Wanfenglin Peaks
The stunning 'Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks' visible during the descent into Xingyi.
Opt for the left side to maximize views of the Wanfenglin peaks during the final descent. Morning flights are ideal as the eastern sun illuminates the Karst valleys. During February and March, the valley floors are carpeted in bright yellow rapeseed flowers, creating a vivid contrast with the grey stone peaks.
Guanshanhu Skyline
A glimpse of Guiyang's northern financial district and modern high-rises.
High-Altitude Bridges
Spot some of the world's highest road and rail bridges spanning the deep river valleys.
Anshun Basin
The flatter agricultural lands and rolling hills surrounding the city of Anshun.
Wumeng Mountains
Distal views of the rugged mountain ranges extending toward the Yunnan border.
The right side is excellent for enthusiasts of civil engineering, as several record-breaking bridges are visible along the northern corridor. In the afternoon, the sun provides excellent lighting for photography of the northern mountain ranges without harsh glare. Clouds often hang low in the valleys during early morning, creating a 'sea of clouds' effect.
